Abstract：
Mental Health (MH) and Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) are two aspects of migrant health that should be addressed and screened in primary care. These topics are inherently sensitive, often challenging and difficult to approach in routine consultations. Providing comprehensive care and management needs both knowledge and a careful approach, yet these factors may sometimes result in low screening of both health issues. Migration itself does not inherently lead to MH disorders. However, the various experiences encountered throughout the migration process can contribute to MH challenges. Migrants face the same issues as the rest of the population, but their expressions may differ. Therefore, it is important to understand the cultural contexts and create a supportive environment within healthcare to effectively address both MH and FGM. FGM is a serious health issue for girls and women that should be assessed in primary care. This includes prevention for at-risk girls, support and care for affected women and community initiatives. To engage with individuals from high-risk countries, both men and women is essential to facilitate change and help to end this harmful practice.
摘要：
心理健康（MH）和女性生殖器切割（FGM）是移民健康的两个方面，应在初级保健中加以解决和筛查。这些话题本来就很敏感,在例行磋商中经常具有挑战性和难以接近。提供全面的护理和管理需要知识和谨慎的方法，然而，这些因素有时可能导致对这两种健康问题的筛查率较低。迁移本身并不固有地导致MH障碍。然而,在整个迁移过程中遇到的各种经验可能会导致MH挑战。移民与其他人口面临同样的问题，但是他们的表达可能不同。因此,重要的是要了解文化背景，并在医疗保健领域创造支持性环境，以有效解决MH和FGM问题。切割女性生殖器官对女孩和妇女来说是一个严重的健康问题，应该在初级保健中进行评估。这包括预防处于危险中的女孩，支持和照顾受影响的妇女和社区倡议。与来自高风险国家的个人接触，男性和女性对于促进变革和帮助结束这种有害的做法都至关重要。
